The guide to writing a worship song

After 15 years of being a song writer, studying some of the best song writers and having many of my songs sung in churches around the world and having the songs on albums and on the radio, I have learned that this is the only way to write a truly great worship song.

1.  Get a hook

2.  Find amazing lyrics. Use flawless language

3.  Work out a rhyme scheme

4.  Write an amazing melody

5.  Put the harmony to the melody

6.  Arrange the song magnificently

7.  Don't use a hook

8.  Use simple lyrics or no lyrics. Use elementary language

9.  Don't use a rhyme scheme

10.  Write a simple, monotonous melody or don't use a melody.

11.  Don't use harmony

12.  No arrangement is needed

13.  Love God

14.  Let this love be your song

15.  Always sing this song to others
